| DESCRIPTION | Displays cumulative data from the Bull algorithm. This is a Hematology Quality Control option which allows the Hematology Supervisor to monitor the MCH, MCV, and MCHC hematology indices. These indices are grouped in "sets" of 20 values, from which the mean and delta values are calculated. It has been reported that these three indices do not vary except in extreme disease states. Hence, the indices are an indication of the stability and precision of the automated hematology instrument. Before using this option the original article by Dr. Brian Bull should be studied. |
